iRay Thermal Dealers - Cold Harbour Supply

We've contemplated kits before and will likely do it.
The challenge with kits is that all items have to be in stock, which has proven to be ... challenging.
Anticipating the insane demand has been our struggle in 2021 and we're aiming to stock as much as we can in 2022 and onwards.
 
The Clip-on thermal imagers?
The C2 and C5 are the two main products, with the "E" designation in the CE2 and CE5 denoting the External battery pack.
The biggest difference between the C2 and C5 are the thermal cores, with the C2 offering a 320 core and the C5 with a 640 core offering higher resolution. The CE5 that we stock is the highest-end of the entire lineup, but we can order in the C2, CE2, and C5 also.

From our perspective the CE5 is the "best bang for the buck" as the price gap between the CE5 and CE2 as an example was not large. Again - this is very subjective and I'm sure there are use-cases where the savings from the CE2 could be allocated elsewhere, like perhaps a higher-end host PVS-14.

Please PM, email or call us for a quote ;)
 
The biggest differences you're going to see are the core sizes with the Clip T being 256 core, and the Clip M and C being 384 cores. The Clip C is going to give you more detection range with its larger objective lens size.

All of them will attach to the front of your day scope, require you to move your thermal reticle to line up with your day scope, then you're good to go.
 
I bought an mh25 last year from another vendor. Br***** Op**** if that matters.
I paid more and the owner is a complete douche. You had not announced that you were an Iray dealer yet.

The unit I have is similar to yours but also has a diopter (is that the right word? A rotate-able ring that opens/closes in front of the lens). So I'll guess you have a newer model. Has anything else changed or been improved?
And x2 for the accessorites please? I'd like a j-arm, clip on mount, or picatinny mount. I realize mine isn't recoil rated, but if I choose to try it and I kill it then that's on me. I'll just have to buy a replacement from you.

All MH25s come with a adjustable diaphram at the front of the unit to limit the amount of thermal signal entering the device. From our experience I've not found many uses where you would want to close that. In any case, it's there.
The PVS-14 eyepiece upgrade will launch in 2-3 weeks, the dual PVS-14/MH25 bridge in 4 weeks. The J-arm will follow after that. The MH25 is not designed for clip-on use and you "may" be able to find a Mini-rail/MUM-14 rail to Picatinny adapter if you wanted to go down that route. We really can't make or recommend one tho.
 
A couple of new models have now been added to the site:
iRay SCT35 V2 (this is the same model as the IRAYUSA Rico Bravo)
We've always wanted to offer a feature-rich thermal scope for under $3k and now here it is.

iRay ZH35 Zoom monocular - an industry first thermal monocular with true dual optical zoom capabilities


https://coldharboursupply.com/products/iray-zh38-zoom-monocular

We're also anticipating an update of the TH35 scope with round viewfinder coming next month!

Would you consider offering the SCH50 or Rico? Considering the $$$ of these things might as well get something that doesn't need to be upgraded in the future.
 
Yup, we can order in pretty much anything from iRay's lineup. The thermal market is so limited in Canada that we honestly don't know what people want. We have an SCT35 V2 coming in for us to mess around with along with a ZH38 dual-zoom monocular.

The Rico line consists of several devices the RH35, RH50 and the RL42, each with its own application. Which one were you interested in?

Please PM or email us for pricing and availability. Most items can be brought in in about 3-4 weeks.
 
Yup.
We have been testing and evaluating it.

I've always wanted (and still want) one of these thermal devices. IMo, seems like a must have, but it keeps getting passed over on my 'prep stuff to buy' list. Same as a generator, actually. The generator I want to buy I can't find (Honda 3k W); and the generators available (Generac, Champion et al.) all seem to be Chineseum crap that won't work when I actually need it to.

Some thoughts, from an interested/ignorant/average consumer:

-The disparity in pricing between various units ($3k all the way past $15k) has me feeling that anything I can afford or am willing to pay, is on the straight junk end of the spectrum.
-All the specs and features are very technical in nature, and I can't relate to or make sense of them. All I want to know is: if I drop it will it break, and if I leave it sitting on a shelf for 5 years, will it still turn on and actually work.
-There's a generally understood inverse relationship between a thing's reliability, and the number of features it has. Does more features (zoom, recording ect) mean more poopoo?
-I'm pretty typical blue collar. 3 grand is about the upper spending limit for any offhand purchase. That's a new fridge for the wife, or a dirtbike for the kid, or a decent generator for the next power outage.



I want a non or low magnification thermal monocular to use for:

-farm pest and predator control (coons, black bears, coyotes and such). Doesn't need to be fancy, just needs to reliably pick up a heat blob within 200 yards.
-scoping the property line and forest edge for wandering hippies... and marauders in the event of a zombie apocalypse.
-smoking the kids at nighttime hide-n-seek.


I think the biggest barrier to purchase, is due to wondering why they aren't more popular already. ie. why doesn't everyone have one of these by now? Lot of fence-sitters on these, I think. We're all close, but just not committed.


Just thinking out loud here. :)

I’m selling my IRay 3k ish thermal (scope/Monocular) I bought from Cold harbour simply because I’m going with a bino setup due to uses. I can tell you 3k thermal vs 20k thermal is the difference between a BMW and a armour plated Hummvee, both will do for picking up the groceries…

With the 3k setup my wife can stand on our deck and 50y away tell me which horse is which in our pasture of 12 horses. I’ve spotted a coyote 350y away. Ran 150y, snuck another 100y and took the shot with my 35cal pellet gun no problem. Easily tell the difference between a dog and a yote.

There is junk on the market but what cold harbour sells is not that.
 
I have an mh25 and the quality of the unit seems excellent. I can easily see humans walking through trees at like 300 yards. I believe they're rated for detection out to 1km. There's many videos on YouTube of them. The quality of the thermal image is insane. I wish the screen was a tad larger but it works fine. I run it in conjunction with a pvs 14 on a bridge and I am able to overlay the images pretty decently. Thermal is an absolute game changer.

Thanks for the detailed write-up!
As some others have chimed in, models like the MH25 are quite popular as it checks off a lot of boxes. Understandably if it's out of your budget (or if you simply don't care for helmet-mountability + other features) you could look into the Eye series of handheld monoculars.
https://www.infiray.ca/handhelds

We normally get requests in for the E6 Pro V3 as its Infiray's top-end model but can easily look into pricing for the other models further down.
https://coldharboursupply.com/products/infiray-e6-pro-v3

Based on the description of your requirements I can recommend the E6+ V3 (not to be mistaken with the Pro - sorry I don't make these model numbers up)

Please send us an email and we can explore more options. Happy to jump on a call also to elaborate on the tech specs, etc and get some more details on your application.

Typically as you go up in price, things like core resolution increases (higher resolution cores mean clearer images, more freedom to zoom in), native magnification increases and detection range increases. You also get more accoutrements like mobile app control via Wifi, onboard photo and video recording, more durable and rugged housings, etc. But sub 200 yards is no problem for even the entry-level devices in Infiray's lineup. Regarding durability, at the end of the day these are essentially digital cameras so while some models are more rugged than others, a level of care should be exercised. Simple drops are fine, but harder, taller drops onto hard surfaces may pose an issue.

Kind of a novice here with thermals too. I'm trying to figure out if for example I'm using a helmet mounted MH2, can I still use my weapon sight with it? Red dot, holographic or scope, etc
